love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
self-control.
Against such there is no law.

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in
whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His
voice to be heard in the street.
A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax
He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.
He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has
established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
Isaiah 42:1-4

Now He who has prepared us for this very thing [resurrection] is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight.
We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for
whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap
corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of
the Spirit reap everlasting life.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good
to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Jesus quoted Isaiah concerning Himself:
“Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.
He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory; And in His name Gentiles will trust.”

There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all…

This struck me enough to alter the usual format this morning 
7 times in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 Jesus says: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.â€
accompanied with:
“To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.â€
“He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.â€
“To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.â€
“he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations – ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’ – as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.â€
“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.â€
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.â€
“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.â€

Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane with His disciples praying:

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.â€

Last Sunday my Christmas message was centered on the spirit of Christmas. Its the most miraculous and wonderful thing that happens to mankind every year, slowly building up for months but then abruptly ending during the evening hours of December 25th! Sometimes it leaves immediately after the last gift is opened!
The admonition in the message was to let the Spirit of God drive you instead – and not just during the holiday season, but always!
Jude tells us:
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
